So far, this much I learn

Grades of the 1st semester are released.

Tho there is still on subject is being processed, the released grades give me a huge surprise...okay, given that I had no expectation towards before, not failing is enough already for me.

Good grades are not EVERYTHING, and somehow for a practical subject like Advertising, good grades are more like illusions - what can it stand for? Does that mean I can be brilliant in the actual work place?

Of course, no.

I don't know how much I've learned through all the masters out there, but this much I learn - Advertising is better be done in the actual field than studied at school, coz all the projects and quantitative researches can drive you go crazy. I don't mind analyzing data, just don't make me to be a data digger. Plus, what's the point of doing research like "what if music is played in the shopping place?"

Don't ever try to tell me that the one who gave me birth is a woman, I JUST KNOW IT.

If I ever would pursue another degree, either it is a very practical one like Stage Design and Law, or, I will definitely go back to my beloved Cultural Studies.

Owl's Time Music #1 - Sugar Lady - Ryuichi Kawamura


想講好耐,我係好鐘意好鐘意好鐘意好鐘意超級鐘意呢個MV。

真係唔知點解。

可能真係好鐘意睇城市奔跑,同埋可能硬係要糟質下個男主角先睇得開心;一向筆下啲男主都唔會好過。

係,呢個用晒八、九十年代超老套唱腔嘅的確係LUNA SEA主音RYUICHI,只不過單飛個時除左由暗黑rock轉左做歡樂pop之外,佢係用返漢字全名: 河村隆一。

LUNA SEA五子啲solo都各有各精彩,都唔會離搖滾太遠。之不過由搖滾妖精一下子變身情歌王子 (條友真係10有8都係甜死人冇命賠嗰種黎) ,真係隆一先有咁嘅能耐。

而家仲唱埋musical,之前仲玩過classical,阿生,仲有咩你係未唱過架?

話唔想睇你solo live就假嘅,超想你開次MICLESS TOUR添,係我真係唔慣睇冇咩叫位同跳位嘅pop live囉XD

麻甩女

Of course I mean 我自己。

呢排好努力要學好畫眼線,上mascara都冇左幾年嗰種就黎插到眼啦嘅感覺,似乎真係轉性。

由唔知幾時開始,我就好conscious一個事實: 化妝品 = 化學品 = 傷身 = 少用為妙。仲曾經誇下海口,開始學化妝嘅話,一係太陽由西邊升起,一係開始拍拖。

結果,我係俾一班屬於視覚系嘅麻甩佬影響,X JAPAN前年黎,我想化到行一行去,可惜冇時間練,唯有買件桃紅色嘅hoodie去應下景。之後L'Arc~en~Ciel都係。直到而家俾LUNA SEA迷住,終於有時間玩,因為嗰時放緊大假。

諗返轉頭,好多令我想改形象甚至變女人嘅figure,都係男士。

The Unbreakable Desire

Honestly, as one of a classmates said when she found out I am a Pisces, I could be very emotional and sentimental and unstable from time to time. I see myself as an alternative romanticist who love dreaming about the things people seldom dream about.

And I am proud to be a niche.

However similar to most of the Pisces, I change a lot. I remember that like a year ago I was still a fearless fresh graduate who would die to be a creative in the Advertising industry. Now, being exposed to the world I long for, I somehow find this is no place for me but the other related fields! And I have to admit this is BAD, totally bad.

I start to wonder where my heart truly lies.

我夠知啦

勁難得。

sit左一堂叫Anthropology of Communication,雖然係另一個programme嘅事,仲要冇advert人sit,可能因為教授係洋人嘅關係? Anyway,難得在,我有重操故業之感。

即係玩返Comp Lit。

個來自比利時嘅教授,唔至一口流利法文,仲有好好聽、加少量French accent嘅英文,樣有少少似Robin William,主打Urban Enchantment同City Walkability......喵的,根本係Comp Lit嘢啦!!! Class dismiss之後我即刻介紹佢同我地嘅Dr. Cheung溝通下,講唔定有火花。

Deeply superficial VS 深深地膚淺 ?!

"I am a deeply superficial person" - Andy Warhol


仲以為第一篇用廣東話嘅會係好似上次咁講係俾LUNA SEA以至整個視覚系嘅愛的宣言,但今日去完藝術館朝聖,就又撩起我條繙譯癮。

其實不嬲香港官方嘅artistic event啲繙譯都做得唔錯,啱grammar,唔會有病態中文,讀落順口又地道,又唔會冇左原文嘅feel,雖然中譯英Lost左嘅嘢可能會多啲,但睇得出係落過心機,值得一讚。

今日去左睇Andy Warhol個15 Minutes Eternal展,型棍大師嘅展真係連個場都可以玩多啲嘢,銀加桃紅 (我會叫做hide pink,原因下回分解),係我近年愛上嘅搶眼浮誇但又不失可愛colourful配。當然,場內一啲空白位都好似上次Piccaso個展咁,有啲大師嘅金句穿插。Andy Warhol嗰啲,句句原文都超型棍,繙譯都會令人笑出聲。

Back Again

Yep, back again, as this 2nd return is encouraged by a close friend who gave me kind words about my crappy journals, I hope this time I can make a substantial move and as my friend said, "keep it alive".

Pray for me, will you? *smirk*

But then for convenience I think I have to try switching language form time to time. Yea English is good in speed typing but if I am ever going to reveal my thoughts and inspiration in the most accurate way, my mother language, the HONORABLE CANTONESE would be the best. So, watch out.

Well, so news update. So the master degree is half way through and the second semester is around the damn corner. Hard-learned lessons from the last semester which I learned that for me the most painful pain in the ass were uncoorperatable groupmates would just could not act and think as a sensible human being, I will try my best to avoid the subject that requires group projects as much as possible.
